Coronavirus: The dilemma of the elderly Kosovars, stay inside or out?

There are also many older people on the street who, according to the World Health Organization, are the most affected by the new coronary for both infection and victims. Most of them walk without protection.

Zenel Ajjeti 70, from Pristina, wearing a mask, but without bail, says it is not good for the older people, in time of pandemic, not to get out on the street. He says that walking is mandatory for himself.

I'm not afraid of the virus. I have a deadline. The danger lies with everyone, especially the old. I'm out and out to move because of my heart problems. I have to move”, Avis said.

Merem, who is 60 years old, says she's careful when she gets out on the street and that the exits are for good reason.

It's probably dangerous when I go out, but it's also monotonous inside. I come out with reason, now I'm going to doctor”, she said.

Dzafer Rama, 61, sitting in Teresa's “Square, in Pristina with a mask on his face, says that institutions' recommendations, especially older people, should be respected.

The oldest generation must stay inside more than get out of”, Rama said.

Another 70-year-old citizen, who refused to give her name, was walking with the help of crutches in “Square. Skenderbeu” Even though she's wearing a mask, she doesn't have it set.

We know the danger is present, but I'm out. We have to stay inside for more days until the situation improves. I'm 70-year-old”, she said.

Xhavit Gashi, 67, on bail and mask told Radio Free Europe, that he has taken to the streets at a time when he is assigned by institutions to move.

Nobody knows when this virus will be eliminated and we have to get out. Of course I'm afraid, but I also have protective measures. We're going out with protective masks and gloves. We must abide by the rules that were given”, Gashi said.

No, only older people, but the younger generations are also seen on the streets of Pristina and without restraint.

The 19-year-old Albanian spoke to Radio Free Europe's microphone after a conversation he had with a policeman who made remarks about the lack of safeguard clauses.

I'm not scared, I'm out. The police asked for my ID asked me about gloves and the mask why I didn't. I've never been stopped for the first time. I was warned not to go out like this. I don't wear a mask or gloves, that's a lie”, he said.

Kosovo health authorities warn that measures to prevent the spread of the coronary pandemic could be added or existing ones would not be removed if citizens and businesses fail to comply with the previous rules.

The decline, and then the rise in the number of coronary affects in Kosovo, according to health officials, is an indicator that may push authorities not to ease measures for cheaper citizens' movement.
